Honda cars become more expensive in India: Check new prices
Japanese automaker Honda has joined the list of carmakers who have increased the prices of their cars this month. The company has hiked the prices of its Amaze, Jazz, fifth-generation City, and WR-V models. Following the price-revision, the vehicles have become costlier by up to Rs. 21,600 in India. Notably, the price of fourth-generation City remains the same, at least for now.
Why does this story matter?
Rising input costs and global supply-chain issues have forced many automakers in India to raise the prices of their cars. Honda joins a long list of carmakers that also include Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and BMW, among others. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and its consequences will make it even harder for automakers. It goes without saying that this will dissuade customers from buying new cars.
